### 85% Battery Health: Is It Enough for a Hong Kong Day?

---

> “I’m buying a graded iPhone with 85% battery health. I commute on the MTR, work, and stream in the evening. Will it last the day?”

Fair question. “Guaranteed ≥ 85%” is what the listing says — but what that means in daily life is what you really want to know.

---

### First: Clear Up a Common Misconception

**Battery health** measures **maximum capacity** relative to when the device left the factory — not “only 85% charge available”.

At 85% health, the phone still shows 100% when full; that 100% simply holds about 15% less energy than a brand-new battery.

### Real-World Battery Life at 85%

For an iPhone 13 (factory capacity 3,227 mAh), 85% health is roughly 2,743 mAh:

| Usage scenario                          | New device (100%) | At 85% health |
| --------------------------------------- | ----------------- | ------------- |
| Video streaming                         | \~19 hours        | \~16 hours    |
| Typical daily use (social, calls, maps) | \~12–14 hours     | \~10–12 hours |
| Heavy use (gaming, filming, navigation) | \~6–8 hours       | \~5–7 hours   |

For a typical Hong Kong office day — MTR browsing, WhatsApp, Google Maps, lunch photos — **85% usually lasts a full day**.

### When to Ask for Higher Battery Health
